Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ham fully cooked, cubed
  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 1 cup whole milk

Glaze

  • 1 cup brown sugar packed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Pulse ham in batches in a food processor until finely ground. Combine with the next seven ingredients just until mixed. Shape into 1-in. balls; place in a single layer on greased 15x10-in. rimmed baking pans.
